The Wall Street Journal had it about right in praising last week’s Supreme Court decision that government cannot tell any free American how many candidates she or he may support with donations:

“One of the Supreme Court's worst mistakes was its willingness to tolerate limits on political free speech in the name of campaign-finance reform. The current Justices have slowly been walking back this historic blunder, and on Wednesday they took another step by killing the overall limit on how much money an individual can contribute to politics.”

Why are such limits unjust? Chief Justice John Roberts put it perfectly in his decision:

“The Government may no more restrict how many candidates or causes a donor may support than it may tell a newspaper how many candidates it may endorse.”
